Club & Brewer Notes: 

Ready for a long-winded story? Horace ‘Hop’ Wallop of Downingtown, Pennsylvania headed west a broken man. For a certain Miss LuLubelle Lager had left him, thirsting for more. Drawn by wild tales of the riches of the gold mines, Hop pressed on westward. His last nickel spent on a prospecting pan, Hop's hunger and thirst got the best of him. Two fistfuls o' barley and three of some wild and wayward hops tossed in the pan with some clear water was to be his meal. But sleep overcame him and he woke to a bubbling, cacophonous concoction. Overjoyed with the beautiful ale that he had made, Hop realized the secret of the 'green gold' he had discovered in those fresh hops. As Victory’s annual homage to the fresh hop harvest, Hop Wallop is a fragrant experience that delights the taste buds.
